I don't think there are all that many health and beauty treatments or procedures that work just as well when you do them yourself at home as when you visit a professional to have them done for you.
I mean just imagine trying to give yourself a tummy tuck or a pedicure.
I don't think that the results that you'd get would be comparable to what you'd get if you visited a professional -- and at least in one instance, you'd be putting yourself in a lot of danger.
But the situation is completely different when you're talking about teeth whitening.
In fact, the best teeth whitening product isn't something that a dentist uses.
Now this isn't just me saying it.
There was actually a study done, by a reputable dental college, that found that people who had tried both methods all said that the at-home variety was a lot easier, and produced results that were just as good, as anything their dentist had been able to do.
That's pretty amazing, considering that most teeth whitening treatments that a dentist will perform will cost you at least $1,000 and probably more.
You can get a really good at home teeth whitening product for less than 50 bucks -- and if you know where to look, you can even get it for free.
But more on this in a second.
The simple truth of the matter is this: the best teeth whitening product is definitely available for the average person.
You don't need a medical degree to use it, and you don't need a bunch of fancy-pants equipment to get results.
However, if you're here reading this, then you definitely understand that there are going to be good, high-quality home teeth whiteners, and there are also going to be a bunch of low-budget and low-quality products that will do nothing for your teeth, except maybe cause damage that a dentist will eventually have to fix.
And that's something you want to avoid it, right? I mean no one wants to use a cheap teeth whitener that winds up costing them thousands of dollars in dental bills in the end.
Now, in terms of who makes the best teeth whitening product, there are some things that we need to consider.
First, I look for convenience and ease-of-use.
Now you can go too far with convenience and sacrifice results, which is basically the situation you have with tooth whitening toothpaste.
(This stuff doesn't do anything in my opinion.
) But then you also have products that can be effective, but that require you to wear trays on your teeth filled with messy gel for hours on end.
They might get your teeth whiter, but they'll also put you out of commission because you can't exactly do much with these things sitting in your mouth.
And strips? No thanks.
Listen, if these things worked like they say they do, wouldn't EVERYONE have a glistening smile? What I like are products that combine the convenience of something like a toothpaste, with the effectiveness of a system that uses a standard gel-based approach.
Until recently, this kind of teeth whitening product didn't really exist.
But I have been able to find something that I think completely fits the bill.
